Governance and Compliance Manager


Background and Context

Children’s Health Foundation (CHF) is focused on raising funds to fulfil our mission of providing world class medical facilities, research and compassionate loving care for every sick child in Ireland cared for in Children’s Health Ireland hospitals and urgent care centres. The Foundation supports Crumlin and Temple Street Children’s Hospitals, National Children’s Hospital Tallaght and Connolly Urgent Care Centre.


The creation of Children’s Health Foundation in 2019 brought together the existing Temple Street Foundation and The Children’s Medical and Research Foundation Crumlin to continue to support Ireland’s sickest children in their treatment journey today, tomorrow and into the future. This is an exciting time to join Children’s Health Foundation, full of challenges and opportunities that allow us to support the hospitals in the best possible way, whether that’s through family and patient support, vital research, medical equipment or redevelopment. And being embedded in the hospitals crystallises our cause and we see first-hand the impact our work has.
